Sympathy can lead to love

Chapter 6

Owens POV
As soon as school got out I ran to the hospital. I didn't stop running. Please be awake. I got there and I told the nurse, between breaths. "Can I - See Viviana - C? "Okay she's in room..." She was clicking her keyboard. "C13 on floor 3." "Thank you." I walked to the elevator and pushed up. It opened and I walked in. I hope she's okay. I hope she's okay. Was all I could think about. It opened and I looked around. C3, C5, on and on. Until I can across the room that said C13. I knocked and slowly opened the door. Viviana saw me and she sort of smiled. Jason said, "I'm gonna go get you some water." "Okay" she said. I sat down in the chair next to her. "How are you feeling?" "Fine." Her heart rate was racing. "Viviana calm down. You're okay." "Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with me." "How was school?" She asked. "Fine." "Okay."  Its was awkwardly silent for a few minutes. She broke the silence with "So, why do you like me?" What!?!? "What?" "Like, as a friend why me?" Thank goodness. "Again, I lo- like your personality." Shit! I almost said love. "Oh." I really didn't know what to say.
Viviana's POV
He's here?!? To check on ME?!? Is this real? Am I still unconscious? It was really awkward. When I fell it really hurt my foot, which made me feel more awkward because I was in pain. I made a face like I was in pain, so he would ask. "Are you okay?" He asked. Yes. It worked. "Well, it really hurt my ankle when I fell." Let me see." He stood up and walked to the other side of my bed and examined it. "Why didn't they notice this? Stupid doctors." "What is it?" "You're ankle is swollen" Damn it "Oh" He pressed the nurse button. "Why do you care about me?" I finally asked. "Because you are a nice girl, and you need a friend right now." I know he's lying. "Okay..." The nurse walked in. "Is there a problem?" She asked. "Yeah, her ankle is swollen." "Oh goodness, we are so sorry we didn't address that earlier, I'll get the doctor in right away." "Thank you" "Really Owen it's fine" "You are not fine. You're getting an X-ray." "Okay, fine" They did an X-ray on me, and sure enough, I broke my ankle. They gave me crutches to use. Great, another thing for the bullies at school to make fun of me for. Then Jason texted me. "At home, have fun with him." I smiled.
Owen's POV
I could tell she was upset. I felt horrible for her. This is all my fault. I threw her out of the way. "I'm so sorry." I said to her." "What? Why?" "Because I hurt you." "What the hell are you talking about?" She immediately got serious about it. "I broke your ankle." "Owen this is the stupidest thing I have ever heard." "Viviana please, you're hurt and it's my fault." "OWEN NO!! If you hadn't grabbed me, I would have died! What's worse? Death or a broken ankle? I swear Owen this is bull-" "Fine." I finally said. She was right, but I still felt bad. "So, how are you gonna get to school tomorrow?" "Well, I haven't really thought that through. I usually walk." "I can carry your stuff and we can walk together..." Did I say that to fast? Do I sound desperate? I hope not."Okay, sure" The nurse walked in and said "Viviana, you are free to go." "Okay, thank you." She started to get up and a got her crutches for her. "Thanks." "You're  welcome" I had to make sure she would stay safe. She won't be walking out on any street without looking on my watch. EVER.
